STUDENT RESEARCH GRANT
DUE SUNDAY 7 APRIL 2024, 11:59PM ET
This grant of $500 is intended to encourage an early-stage graduate student (someone enrolled in a post-baccalaureate graduate program, who may have received a MA or MPhil, or who is otherwise pre-ABD) to pursue research on cross-cultural visual connections involving art produced in parts of the medieval world that until recently have been studied separately. To be eligible, applicants must be involved in research on the connections between art of at least two of the following broadly-defined regions:
Africa
Asia
Europe and Byzantium
North Africa, the Middle East, and the Near East
Funds awarded could be used to defray expenses of attending or presenting at a conference or visiting a museum, archive, or site. Applicants must be members of the ICMA (information on memberships can be found here).
We are grateful to Robert E. Jamison, Professor Emeritus of Mathematics, Clemson University, for underwriting this grant. The grant recipient is to send their winning application directly to Robert E. Jamison as soon as the award is announced.
The deadline for submission is MONDAY 7 APRIL 2024, 10am ET. The winners will be announced at the Spring Board Meeting in May. Recipients will be asked to forward their winning application to Robert E. Jamison.
Applicants must submit:
Description of the project to be undertaken, in 400 words or less.
Proposed budget. Please be precise and realistic: if the budget exceeds $500, state how you will cover the remaining portion of the cost.
A curriculum vitae.
NOTE ON FILE SUBMISSION: Please submit PDF files when appropriate with the file named as LAST NAME first, then the item. Example: SMITHdescription.pdf, SMITHbudget.pdf, SMITHcv.pdf
All applicants must be ICMA members.
All submissions are to be uploaded HERE.
A parallel grant is available via The Association Villard de Honnecourt for the Interdisciplinary Study of Technology, Science, and Art (AVISTA). Students may apply for both the ICMA and the AVISTA grants but would be eligible to receive only one of the awards.
Email questions to Ryan Frisinger at awards@medievalart.org. The winning application will be chosen by members of the ICMA Grants and Awards Committee, which is chaired by our Vice-President.
